I need concert sticks for college - is this selection alright?

  • I'm getting started as a percussion major (concert focused) and my professor wants me to buy better drumsticks. I've never bought drumsticks before and I've only ever used random drumset sticks. Is this an okay selection? I have no idea where to start.

Disinfecting mallets?

I just bought a bunch of mallets from a retired percussionist and I want to know how to properly disinfect them. I've got a mix of plastic, acrylic, birch, rattan, felt, and yarn. They don't need to look spotless or anything, I just wanna make sure they're clean.

Mini deodorant suggestions that don't do this?

I need some long term mini deodorants I can toss in my bags and use when I don't have my main ones over the course of a few years but all of mine break down and fall apart before I can use them up. Any suggestions for what to try? Men or women's brands work.

Camellia ribbon bouquet for my lover!

I hope this is okay here! I've made normal bouquets before but this is the first time I've made ribbon flowers! I decided to go with three variants of pink and red camellias because they represent love and longing. I'm moving away from my partner for several months for school so I be wanted to give them flowers that wouldn't die. The greenery is just from Michael's since I only had two nights to get this done. 😭 I'm super proud of it as long as you don't look too close at anything. ❤️

Advice for trimming hair instead of shaving?

I'm looking for a way to keep my legs/pits/pubes well trimmed and neat looking without shaving but I'm not sure what my options are. I've heard of people using beard trimmers but I currently know nothing and am looking for any advice!

Freaking out - did I just ruin my hair?

Last night I went a bit overboard with my trim and turned my bob into a mullet (rattails were always there). I'm freaking out because between all the hair I cut off on the top and the microbangs I can't tell if I'm just not used to the person I see in the mirror or if I ruined it and I need a way to do damage control. All advice is greatly appreciated. 😭

Hormonal IUD just for period?

I'm hoping this is not really weird to ask but I figured it might help to get an outside opinion. I'm not sexually active (asexual + waiting for marriage anyways) and I don't have the kinds of periods I hear about that require birth control for them to function.

I just hate having a period, having cramps that I need to constantly be on loads of ibuprofen for, and I'm about to move out on my own and I'm worried about the cost of menstrual products on top of everything else while I'm trying to pay for college.

I've heard that Mirena can have a fantastic effect on periods and I've been really interested recently. There's a health clinic near me that offers low to no cost Mirena implants for 18-19 year olds (my age) without insurance, or probably full coverage with insurance?

I'm still on my parents insurance and I'm really concerned about if they find out that I got an IUD. My family and I are religious and believe in waiting until marriage (if I even have sex at all haha) so I'm worried about them judging me for my choice or thinking I'm going to college to hook up with people.

Would this be a valid reason to get a hormonal iud? Is there some other method of birth control for periods I don't know about that would be better? From what I'm seeing it feels like Mirena could be a fantastic, long term, cheap solution but I am worried that I'll come across as selfish for getting an IUD when I'm not even sexually active.

(Also side note but another reason I want an IUD over pills/patches is because I'm in the US and I'm unfortunately a bit concerned about losing my bodily autonomy in the future due to the current administration.)

Any advice is much appreciated.
